This it one of those pictures that can truly
be considered awesome........

This awesome picture was taken in the
Bitterroot National Forest in Montana on August 6, 2000 by a fire behavior
analyst from Fairbanks, Alaska by the name of John McColgan with
a Digital camera. Since he was working while he took the picture,
he cannot sell or profit from it, so he should at least be recognized as
the photographer of this once-in-a-lifetime shot. Please forward
this on to your email contacts. Maybe someday it will get back to him and
we can show him that he has indeed been recognized for his efforts!
